26 分钟Tristan,
one thing I would say a lot of folks might not know about you is that
since you've got this quite posh British accent.
If you say so.
There it is.
Despite that, you have in fact not actually lived most of your life in the United Kingdom.
No, I've lived most of my life in France.
And you spent years covering French politics.
Yeah.
And I actually wanted to switch up the format on our show a bit today and interview you
because you know a whole bunch about French politics and France is going through a major moment of political turmoil.
You're right, yes.
France is going through a huge moment of turmoil right now.
The government's fallen.
We've had huge demonstrations.
The French President Emmanuel Macron has lost his fourth prime minister in two years.
And it's starting to look like the end of the Macron era and the beginning of a very different one.
It's a big moment for the far right.
It's a big moment for the far right leader, Marine Le Pen.
Her party could be on the cusp of power.
